I believe NASA is using some kind of new technology for long-range communications (Mars-Earth).
Here is an image that was sent back to us.

Perseverance has been on Mars 5 days now.
About 5000 images of this type have been sent already, including videos (24fps).
Can someone calculate the network speed needed for sending this amount of data in 5 days?
Official speeds say 500 bits to 32000 bits per second.
I think if we calculate how much data was sent during these 5 days we can find out the true speed of the network that they are using. And then we can figure out if its possible with standard technology or if it violates the speed of light or some other physics.
